It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the third region.[1][2]
The 11th district was created in 1996. Between 1979 and 1996, Chiapas only had nine federal electoral districts; the 1996 redistricting process increased the number to 12.[3] The eleventh district elected its first deputy, to the 57th Congress, in the 1997 mid-terms.

editUnder the 2022 districting plan, which will be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[4] the eleventh district comprises 11 municipalities:
- Altamirano, Amatenango del Valle, Chanal, Huixtán, La Independencia, Las Margaritas, Las Rosas, Maravilla Tenejapa, Oxchuc, San Cristóbal de Las Casas and Teopisca.[5]
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Las Margaritas.[6]
With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 63% of its population, it is officially classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district.[5]
